Does anyone remember the thriller author Sebastian Clark? He wrote over 12 best selling stories that reached the New York Times and stayed there for weeks at a time but hasn't been heard from in like five years. In fact when I searched online for the master of psychological terror I found relatively little except maybe one picture on photoshop near Lake Saramac where he supposedly took up residence. As most of you know his works have been banned from libraries she to their graphic and violent detail in the murders. Some people even speculate that the crimes are based on a real serial killer that roamed the Adirondacks in the late 90's known as the Hungry Tiger, a cannibalistic sadistic sexual predator that would first mutilate his victims and then perform awful acts on their body, and then post their pictures anonymously online to taunt the authorities and mark his trophies. The killer was never caught and as a devoted Clark fan I decided to research the crimes and the period of time that he wrote and did find the continuity very similar. I'm curious, does anyone else know or remember the various crimes that Clark wrote about? I only got to read a few of his works before they disappeared from bookstores and I'm curious as to what other people have found out about him and why he fell off the scene five years ago. I decided to post on a forum about him not long ago, and meet some fans that might tell me more about the author. I remember when I first became acquainted with his book "Hungry For More?" with the chilling image of the bloody tiger on the front cover, a fictional retelling of the first six murders connected to the serial killer. I read that story so much I didn't sleep for days. The part where the detective walked in to the empty cell to find his partners head dangling from a chain dripping blood on to the floor where our vicious killer wrote a message was especially chilling. Clark always one to push the envelope when it came to what was considered proper for publishing even in the work of fiction, which is why despite his success he became more and more a recluse not wanting to be bothered and even using pen names to try and get his troublesome works published. But that has to be at least six years ago since I even saw a book that had the name Jack Castelle or Tom Cavatt on it. Did he die? Retire? I remember after posting about it I received a reply from an anonymous blogger encouraging me to check out a link to a website that originally connected to the story "The Sullivans' Don't Live Here Anymore", with accurate crime scene photos and details about how the children were slaughtered one by one by a sadistic survivalist. But entering the site I couldn't help but to be disturbed by the other images, gruesome mutilations and strange pictures of people that seemed to have their skin peeled off their face even some posted as short as a week ago. Many posters would claim that the pictures were connected to recent victims they had devoured in devotion to Clark, and I logged into the chat wondering why these disturbed individuals were taking his fictional world to such an extreme. I asked a lot of questions about people having read the books I had never read like "One Incoming Message" and "Lyvona" each one becoming more and more graphic in detail but I know that I must have said something' wrong because I was kicked off the forum and couldn't get back on. I tried to get back on the website the next day, finding that it seemed impossible to find as though it hadn't existed at all and my original post was deleted too. Curious I decided to create a new thread about Clark, asking again about old fans and books I hadn't read and less than an hour later got an email from another anonymous blogger: this one was a video, a short one with weird sounds that almost sounded like a knife hitting the edge of a metal bar; and then a scream and a message at the end: Stop searching for Clark before he comes searching for you. I summed it up to a sick and odd joke, waiting to see if I got any other responses on the post and even posting a picture of my copy of "Southern Blood" his account about the odd occurrences that happened near Tramble Gardens, the abandoned psych ward where some people claimed the author had once taken up residence for a few years in order to better understand the mind of an insane serial killer but supposedly liked the scenery so much he decided to stay. The next day I got a response by one of the admins requesting I taker the picture down. Apparently a lot of others on the forum were complaining that they had expressed interest in Sebastian's work and then received messages from my account with odd viral videos connected to sounds of screeching and faceless victims and even the admin himself claimed to have gotten one of these disturbing videos. I tried to explain that it wasn't me and someone must have hacked my account. The next day I found myself banned from the forum. Well, now my curiosity was piqued and I decided to use my laptop and log in under a different name to ask about Clark and wait and see what happened. The next day I couldn't help but to notice the copy of "Southern Blood" was missing. Nothing else in the house had been touched but when I logged back in to that forum I found another connection to the website. This time I was more cautious getting on the chat and just watching as people talked about victims and even word that Clark was working on a new book, supposedly it was his autobiography detailing every single crime that connected to Clark. I asked where this book would be published and a forum reader with the username SebastianClarkizreal22 started chatting with me. At first he seemed to be another zealous fan talking about how the story about the Sullivans' changed his life, but after chatting for about an hour he started acting strange. He claimed that Clark had killed his brother and he even had a link to the video his brother sent him right before his disappearance in the Adirondacks. I laughed it off and let him send me the video but I just couldn't get over how disturbing it was. Felt like someone had been chasing his brother like a wild animal in those woods. It had to be some kind of sick joke. But he had logged out so I did my own research into the cases surrounding the Hungry Tiger.
 * creepypasta in progress*


 * synopsis of unsolved murders in and around Tramble Gardens between April 14, 1993- September 22, 1999*

Arthur Sinclair: age 32 found dead and half of his torso ripped out as though his intestines were dragged with a chain and then covered in tree sap, he was a defense lawyer that had come to Seward Mountain for a relaxing weekend but never returned. A camper found his body three weeks later.

Barbara Gile: age 23, found dead with no arms and no legs body decomposing, thrown into a bone pit which later were identified to be small children's bones near the edge of Long Pond in the Saint Regis area. Campers got lost while canoeing and stumbled upon the pit. Authorities have found bone fragments that were later identified as belonging to five different children, none of which can be found in the national database.


 * unknown victim* age 15, burned body was found with blood drained near to Keene Valley. Bones were broken in various portions of his back, but no missing persons cases seemed to connect to the timeline when his body was found.

Detective James Seward: age 31, first recorded video that was sent to the police detailing that this was in fact a serial killer and not just a wild animal (as had been originally speculated) his body has yet to be found after the video was leaked to the authorities. At first they did not reveal this information to the public but the serial killer leaked it to the internet and they were forced to admit they had not found it. The case is still considered open and the first victim of the Tiger.

The twins: the most well known victims that were seen across newspaper headlines between 94 and 95 media demanded police take action to find the evil and sick killer that killed the two innocent children on March 14 of that year, mercilessly slaughtering them and then eating their remains sending the bones to police as a taunt to them. Shortly after this news leaked police did what they could to keep the public out of the investigation which is why the other victims did not become public knowledge until 2005 after the Tiger stopped killing.

I correlated the timeline of the murders to the writing of Clark's novels and did notice a lot of similar situations occurring although often the story would be even more graphic then the crime scenes that were detailed by the police. I decided to post my findings on that website as a bit of fun for these fans who really believed that Clark was a killer. That one guy I chatted with was online again and he warned me to be careful. I copied and pasted the transcript it was so weird...

SebastianClarkizreal22: hey man delete that video I sent you. The admin has started to get suspicious of why I come here every day. I'm trying to hack into their database to send it to the police. JCbetheman: lol ok man. I didn't keep it. Too Blair Witchy for me. SebastianClarkizreal22: I'm serious, these people don't play, they will track your IP address and mess with your head! JCbetheman: you are crazy man wtf you talking about? SebastianClarkizreal22: look they killed my dog, skinned him and left his body on my porch. I can't get into this shit anymore. JCbetheman: ok man whatever. SebastianClarkizreal22: I am not playing!! Look at these pictures man they aren't faked! Great an admin is chatting privately with me now. I'm going to have to start over this whole process and it's all your damn fault. JCbetheman: dude you ok? >SebastianClarkizreal22 username cannot be found<

I tried not to think about the forum for a few days. Wondering how serious these people were and if that guy was serious about his dog... And then Wednesday morning I found my copy of "Southern Blood" was on my porch... With a note inside of it.

Copy of the note:

From the office of Sebastian Clark:

It is in your best interests to stop searching for me or my students. In honor of your knowledge and curiosity I have returned this book to you with a gift and a warning. Either you are one of us, or you will disappear just as the others who came before you have. Sincerely, SC

Along with the note was a picture... I wasn't sure if it was real or not. It looked like a decapitated body and below it written in blood was my name... MY NAME! It freaked me out so much I burned the book and made sure to sell my computer as soon as possible. The whole experience was freaky. I never did search into the Clark stories until now... Until I looked at the local obits and I saw a familiar name. It sounded familiar... And then it hit me. It was the guy I had talked to in that forum the one who thought his brother had been murdered.

The obit claimed that his death was a suicide that he threw himself over a cliff but it was curious that it seemed his neck had snapped somehow before his fall. The body... had no head. It couldn't have been a coincidence, I knew it had to be that same photo that was sent to me. So I decided to post this warning on an open forum again: anyone who is searching for Sebastian Clark, stop searching. Share your experiences. And get his stories exposed as best as you can before something happens. I am going to try and continue my investigation, but it will be careful and cautious and I encourage anyone who knows the truth about Clark to step forward.

Update: December 17, 2014

I stopped my search for Sebastian Clark today. And I encourage all of you to do the same.
