User blog:Noctevoire/The best of r/nosleep.

These are, in my opinion, the best stories to come from the subreddit r/nosleep, source of some of the most famous pastas, including Search and Rescue and Borrasca. You've probably heard of a lot of these, but a few are pretty obscure and I think deserve some more recognition.

Here's my list of favorites, which you can also see among the pastas on my profile page:

The Black Square by M59Gar
An intriguing, immersive story of impenetrable paranoia and reality-breaking anomalies.

Fuck Oranges by M59Gar
An absolute mindfuck of a story involving lemons. Because fuck oranges.

Penpal by 1000Vultures
There's nothing that can be said about this that hasn't already been said. Absolutely perfect from start to finish.

Borrasca by The_Dalek_Emperor
Same as the above. Terrifying in its realism.

The Arkansas Sleep Experiments by nazisharks
Don't be fooled by the name; this has almost nothing to do with its Russian cousin. It's a detailed descent into a dark place where no human should ever set foot. ====I'm a Search and Rescue Officer for the US Forest Service, and I have some stories to tell by searchandrescuewoods==== One of the most immersive and terrifying tales ever told. If you haven't already read this, please, remember: Don't touch them. Don't look at them. Don't go up them.

I've been trying to leave my bathroom for the past 30 minutes by v0ids
An account of a desperate situation with a deeply unsettling sense of helplessness.

EMERGENCY ALERT by TheCrystalGem
Nothing's more terrifying than being a bystander to a horrifying incident like this.

i watched video footage of a camping trip my friends never went on. by walpurgisnight
As far as accounts of found footage go, this one's a visceral example of a great one.

Notes to the girl whose house I live in by JJX2525
The title says all you need to know. It's a disturbing look into a very real prospect.

Bull #5825 by mrmichaelsquid
An underrated gorefest of the scariest nature.

Suicide by Search Engine by M59Gar
Another fantastic story from Matt Dymerski. The dark areas of the Internet are a running theme on this subreddit.

I'll update more soon.
